Chapter 1: What progress has been made in U.S.-India trade talks?
President Trump's bid to abolish birthright citizenship heads to the Supreme Court today, where justices will weigh whether to set aside three federal court orders blocking implementation of his decree.
Chapter 2: What is the current status of Ukraine-Russia peace talks?
Trump on Inauguration Day declared that the provision of the 14th Amendment conferring citizenship to children born on American soil applies only to those with at least one parent who is a citizen or permanent resident, a reinterpretation that lower courts found unconstitutional.
According to the Migration Policy Institute, that shift would deny citizenship to around a quarter million babies born in the U.S. each year to unauthorized immigrants or temporary visa holders. And Republican state lawmakers in Missouri are putting a referendum banning most abortions on the ballot just six months after voters backed a constitutional amendment guaranteeing abortion rights.
The measure could go before voters during next year's midterm elections. And finally, British researchers have discovered that a copy of the Magna Carta held for years at Harvard Law School is in fact an original.
Experts were able to verify the document after a professor noticed key details online confirming it as one of the 25 known Magna Cartas, with the version in question potentially dating back to 1300. WSJ reporter Joseph Pisani explains why the discovery is so remarkable.
Harvard Law School bought it about 80 years ago for like $27. And it was always sold to them as a copy. But now it's probably very valuable. The last time one was sold in auction was... It went for $21.5 million. The researchers say that it's such a big deal to find a real one because the language in the Magna Carta inspired constitutions around the world, including the U.S.
A seminal document in legal history, the Magna Carta asserts that the king is subject to the law and recognizes limits in his power. And that's it for What's News for this Thursday morning. Today's show was produced by Daniel Bach and Kate Bullivant. Our supervising producer is Sandra Kilhoff. And I'm Luke Vargas for The Wall Street Journal. We will be back tonight with a new show.
Until then, thanks for listening.
Americans love using their credit cards, the most secure and hassle-free way to pay. But D.C. politicians want to change that with the Durbin Marshall Credit Card Bill.
